I would be happy to trade you a single-combed Lavender Ameraucana.

Interesting. Do those of you who have Wyandottes find the roosters to be less dominant? Caffeine increases sperm motility, cool! Maybe Starbucks funded that study, but how to get the rooster to drink its mochachino?????

Hoppy, I have to say though, I had no problem with your eggs fertility! I just suck at hatching. However, I'm still working at it. I may have to upgrade my incubator. I have to wonder if my elevation here factors in. I'm a mile high. I leave the vents open to compensate.

I can only have pullets, anyway, so you would be doing me a favor by giving the hypothetical single combed splash roo a good home. 'Course I'll be happy to rob you of a pullet! But we may save that for a later date.

I have 8 Lavs from Harry Shaffer and 2 from p&ps, so next year I could probably set you up. The Shaffer lavs are only 3 weeks old so there better be some girls in there. I suspect the 2 from p&ps are both boys. Truthfully the single comb is still a mystery at 3 weeks. If it happens to be a girl I suppose it can go in my layer pen if noone wants it.

A mile high? Good for you at leaving the vents open. Another thing you might want to do is order hatching eggs from someone who lives in a high altitude. (I read some research, don't know where)

I had to leave the chickens in today because we both work, and can't catch them and lock them up free range. The majority is in a pen. The silkies were in a coop, screen on front. But they ran out of water, and one , Mushmouse, was laying on her side. I drenched her with water, and brough her in. She's in the laundry room. I tried to give her water.

Now she is standing. I hope she makes it. I feel like crying.

I wonder if I should bring a friend in
